A thread about using color as a design tool in science presentations. Color is a great tool to separate different categories of information, to highlight information, or to establish an emotional tone. 🧵1/20

We were recently discussing design aspects of presentations, so retweeting this (and another thread from @iamscicomm) with a tip of the hat to @KWhiteheadLab, whose feed brought them to my attention.

A thread about using fonts/typography in presentations. Decisions about text matter. Just as you can speak the same word in many ways, the way you write text can affect communication, emotion, and attitude. 🧵1/19
Before and after examples of text/typography choices in presentations

Sharing these pubs is way overdue, but I wanted to share @GregGrewal's work with hydrogel nanofibers--both a review of work in the field and his work incorporating spatiotemporally controlled signals into these systems in collaboration with Vince Gray in @rachel_letteri's group.

Not a power lifter myself (more like a power sitter), but love this story--dedicated students, pursuit of a passion, defying expectations. news.virginia.edu/content/pu…

Pumping Iron! UVA Barbell Club Breaks Records, Makes History at National Event

At the recent USA Powerlifting Collegiate Nationals, the UVA Barbell Club qualified a record eight lifters, three of whom placed among the Top 10 finishers in their weight classes.

And here I was thinking all the guns were to OPPOSE an undemocratic government with a tyrannical leader who would use misinformation and lies to try to control what we think and do.

Currently, this is what I'm thinking is interesting about the election: 1) democracy defined: control of an organization or group by the majority of its members 2) + 4 MILLION votes for 1 candidate nationally. MILLIONS + MILLIONS 3) outcome undecided
Congrats, Steven and Caliari Lab. Looking forward to seeing you keep pushing out boundaries. @Caliari_Lab

How is this new paper in Advanced Materials different? doi.org/10.1002/adma.2020018… changes a fundamental which unlocks geometric freedom for melt electrowriting. Instead of direct-writing fibers directly on top of each other, the fiber-on-fiber position can be controlled....

This graph is amazing. It shows that measuring #SARSCoV2 levels in municipal sewage almost perfectly predicts forthcoming #COVID19 cases with a full week's notice (R=0.994). It's one of several discoveries in this new study from @Yale: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. C-19 is #InThePoop
